It's inevitable, isn't it? Britney Spears' charge didn't win "The X Factor" but she definitely won a lot of fans, including us! We still have goosebumps from her version of "Rolling in the Deep" and we have no doubt that this 13-year-old is going places.

Need we say more? We know we get to see Jon Hamm in a bathing suit, and even if all of Mad Men's sixth season was one long scene of Don Draper reading, we'd watch as eagerly as Jessica Pare's Megan does here.

This is how glamorous they look when they're not even trying. Funny, then, how we always look like we're choking or falling in our candid photos. We need to see this wedding happen, and if the world ends, well, you know. This romance will end up pretty anticlimactic.
